IDEF is an actively managed ETF focusing on the defense and related industrial sectors. It invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities from both U.S. and international companies within this industry.
The defense sector is characterized by long product development cycles and significant government contract reliance. The business model often involves high barriers to entry due to specialized technology and regulatory requirements.
The fund operates as non-diversified, meaning it can concentrate a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers, potentially leading to higher risk compared to diversified funds.
